That's all I've got.

2 Hellooo (echo) anybody home?

3 If you're going to shoot, shoot, don't talk.

4 Now Dondi has principles?

5 The Rubiocon?

6 ThereÂ’s literally not one aspect of our economy that is not negatively affected by Obamacare.


Wouldn't it be great if there was an opposition party out there to make this point to the LIVs?

7 You guys like tap-dancing?  'Cuz I can tap-dance.

8 ThereÂ’s literally not one aspect of our economy that is not negatively affected by:
O-care
Amnesty
QE
Bloated Gubbmit
Unemployment
Welfare
EPA
Moocows fat ass.

Yeah draw us some lines Dondi.

9 For sale -- one Republican Assault Spine. Never used, dropped once.

10 If Rubio is the nominee I am not voting.

11 Rubio is a useful idiot. I'm more than happy to use him up and spit him up.

12 I hope we can put our past squabbles behind us and you wingnuts can resume writing me checks.

13

I say let Rubio preach it to the Democrat choir, since they're the only ones who give a shit about his opinion anymore.    It's a win/win in my book.   I don't have to pay attention to     the turncoat, and the Dems   have to try and turn our turncoat into their own turncoat.   And in the end, Rubio ends up flapping in the wind.

14 Yeah will this dog stay in the hunt?  Or will he suddenly sit, wag tail, and beg more media crumbs from the socialists?

15

Oh look an issue came up that he pander to the "extreme right" with!

 

How cute. Obviously we fickle lot must love him again.

16 Or spit him OUT.

17 "ThereÂ’s literally not one aspect of our economy that is not negatively affected by Illegal Immigration" Fixed it for this dumb fuck.

18 "Rubio has lost so much standing with his Amnesty Follies that he's required to be More Catholic Than the Pope on every other issue."

To pick up that metaphor and run with it, what Rubio has done on amnesty is the equivalent of the Pope converting to Islam and slaughtering a huge number of Catholics at Mass with a machine gun.

Not backing this guy for anything any longer. The only backing I would propose would be to back Allen West in a primary challenge to Rubio.

19 Ah golly gee whiz that Rubio is so masterful when it comes to drawing a line in the sand. To bad he was so willing to cross the Rubicon on amnesty for illegals. Personally I want to see all of Ogabecare put into full force immediately. Let the economy bleed and the airheads feel the pain.

20 Please post something lighthearted and funny, ace.

Life sucks right now.

21

Good for him.  He got played by the Donks in congress over the whole immigration thing, and hopefully he has learned his lesson and wised up a bit. 

I would recommend he fire a few advisors for good measure too.  Hopefully he has done that.

22 Oh sure...now he's all hardcore righty.... and shit.

23 Whatevs. It's not like we're still having sex with his garbage now, are we?

How about boobehs? throw us a bone here.

27

Just think  how he could've   not  supported amnesty and kept his reputation  and his base  intact and happy.

 

So sorry,   Rube-io.  I don't care for  getting  screwed by someone I supported.

 

If I heard any support for amnesty from him during his campaign, I  wouldn't have voted for him.   FOAD. And go fellate Schumer and McLame.

28 This fuck could have been debating and talking about Obamacare for the past couple months. Instead this fucking dipshit was selling us out on illegal immigration trying to give the Democrats a permanent majority of the electoral college. This mother fucker can go screw.

Why would he   have  "wised up" on anything?   Immigration    "reform" is still going strong.

I'm with you and Ace- Jane. I'm in such a foul mood today- I could crush a baby Sea Turtle with bare hands.

34 Stopping Obamacare is a necessity. In the end I believe that what Rubio and others have been saying is the plan will work. The Senate may capitulate to our side in the end. Maybe not, and it's shutdown/sequester/fiasco/whatever, like that's something new. But every day closer to 2016, Obama loses a bit of his influence in the Party, among those who have to run again, and again and again.

35 let it burn

36 I think "Rubiocon" is more to his thinking. Cosplayers dressed as Mr. Rourke and Tattoo, filling the convention center to overflowing...

37 Quick someone post quotes of all the times during his election campaign he took a hard line on illegal immigration, and all the times he said he was against any form of amnesty. Like this fucking asshole wouldn't fund Obamacare the second he was elected President. This fuckers word is garbage, he has no integrity.

38 Attention Morons, His Highness Lord Obama will be giving you some charity soon. He's giving a speech on economics at 4. Listening to Obama speak on economics is like listening to a eskimo give a lecture on sun tan lotion.

39 I've been in a foul mood pretty much everyday since the 2008 election.

40 >> “here has to be some point at which we say, ‘Look, this is the issue where we draw the line,’” Rubio said. There is. It's amnesty. Now go home and get your fuckin' shinebox.

41 quickie links How many more references to the Sydney Leathers big steamin' tape o' sex must we endure, ace? How many?

I am against farm subsidies and liberal Hollywood values.  That's why I don't eat food or watch TV.

 

For fuck's sake.

44 Great!  Let Rubio spearhead de-funding Obamacare in the Senate.  He's still going to get dumped for his amnesty antics next time he runs.

Ah yes.

the previews of his remarks suggested winding down the FM twins, and replace it with...government backed mortgages provided by private lenders?

Because...change?! (It's not that much different is it.)

46

Attention Morons, His Highness Lord Obama will be giving you some charity soon. He's giving a speech on economics at 4.

 

FFS.  It'll be the same g-ddamn speech he's given every day of his perpetual campaign.   Worthless blather. 

 

Will he address the reasons why he's got our embassies cowering in fear in the mid-east and North Africa?  No?       Okay, then will he address the claim that CIA operatives were on the ground in Benghazi, and that the DOJ and State Dept have been keeping them hush hush and moving them around teh country with different names, to prevent    them from talking to Congress?   No?    Okay, then will he address the mounting evidence that the    Federal Elections Commission was also involved in the targeting of conservative groups   by the IRS this past election cycle?  No?   

 

Okay then, glad we cleared that up.

47

Good for Rubio.  ObamaCare was passed only after a manipulation of Senate rules and with no GOP support.  The law was so unfinished when passed that most of it is being made up as they go along.  The President ignores the law daily, as he makes up exceptions and throws out new policies never permitted under the law. 

 

It's an unconstitutional usurpation of legislative power, not to mention an infringement of liberty.

 

Who the fuck cares if this battle is one we are certain to lose.  If we don't fight anyway we'll never have a chance to win.

 

Rubio is welcome to the side of righteousness!

48 too little too late

49 Every time I hear this fuck get on TV and lie in his effeminate douchebag voice I want to throat punch a puppy. Who the fuck can trust a word out of his mouth?

50

Hmm. Erase the line on a law about to be voted on which will destroy the Republican party and assure irreversible leftist hegemony in America.

But draw the line on a law already passed now that the "line" is moot.

Now there's our boy!

51 >>>>> If that issue is not Obamacare, I canÂ’t understand what issue it would be. *raises hand* Ooooo ooooo pick me pick me! I know what issue it could have been you balding illegal alien loving fuckhead.

52 I think Rubio should solve global hunger and the problems in the Mideast. He's got a better chance of solving those problems then he does his problems with the conservative base.

53 Ok.. so, has anyone bothered to take this out to its logical conclusion?

WTF happens if Obamacare is defunded?  The regulations are still in place.  Is an insurance company liable for not making the proscribed regulatory changes come Jan 1, 2014?

Can they still deny coverage, or will "must carry" kick in?  What about community ratings?

What will happen to the tax code that will kick in Jan 1st?  Will Obamacare tax on the wealthy still be there?

Will the IRS continue to levy penalties for non-compliance?

54

O/T you know I am glad real life terrorists aren't often as clever as the ones in a Clancy, Flynn, or Thor novel. Otherwise I would be more suspicious about SABRE crashing last night for several hours given the heightened terrorist threat right now.

55 Jane D'oh will this help?

Then let Allen West primary him.

60 Is Rubio trying to change the subject to get immigration reform passed? Byron York :

So Democrats don't really mind if Republicans use up all their grass-roots energy railing about Obamacare. It's already the law. What would be a problem for Democrats, and for some pro-reform Republicans, is if the GOP grassroots concentrated its fire on immigration reform. That could well mean the end of President Obama's top legislative priority for his second term.

Immigration reform won't be taken up by the House until this fall. But its future will be determined in August, in town halls around America, where Republicans will either voice real opposition to the current proposals, or signal that they will go along. The next month will tell the story.

Close it up. We got a winner.

67 He's giving a speech on economics at 4.

4:13, and not a minute earlier.

68 Here's some ACA news that I've finally tracked down. Subsidies will be based on something new called "Modified Adjusted Gross Income", which is basically your gross income excluding some things like inheritances, but not including your deductions. They will NOT be based upon AGI, which means that a lot of people are going to find that the government will be paying a lot less of their premiums than they thought, as it's going to be based upon the big number at the top of form 1040, not the little number at the bottom. This is especially bad news for self employed and small business owners.

69 So wait let me get this straight, this guy wants to use democratic means to overturn a law passed by a prior Congress.......but meanwhile he wants to grant instant legal status and eventual citizenship to millions upon million upon millions of foreign citizens who are dwelling in our country illegally? Using that logic why doesn't he just try to pass a law granting everyone amnesty from Obama care and tell them to ignore it? Why even bother overturning it, tell everyone fuck it the law doesnt matter you ignorant fucking piece of shit.

When the best they've got is a doofus who cannot light his own underwear bomb, or the shoe bomber or the Times Square incompetent, it really makes you wonder how sophisticated they are.

Unfortunately, you cannot take that for granted.

The SABRE system crashing would be a sophisticated way to mess with the western world.  Even worse would be to crash the internet infrastructure or airline routing or utility communications, etc.

The corporate world is putting all their data "in the cloud".  What happens if the "cloud" disappears for a few days?

103 Sure it is Rubio saying it.  Doesn't mean he isn't right.

So many people say Ocare is THE final blow, that when it kicks in the die is cast, single payer is only a matter of when.  Then they talk about future tactics and strategy.   Huh?  After THE END there is no future.  There is no tactics, no strategy other than surviving Thunderdome.  So why aren't more of our politicians and pundits acting like they actually believe it?

You don't worry about the long term consequences.  You don't worry about bipartisanship.  You don't worry about whether the NYT and Meet the Press will ever invite you back.  You don't hold forces in reserve.  If you are fighting the final battle you go all in, holding nothing back and damn the consequences.

So is Ocare such a battle or not.  Even for us morons?  Because if we don't start thinking in those terms and making darned sure we get out to the town halls going on during this recess you can bet our 'leaders' won't feel the passion.

Even if he set himself on fire like a protesting Buddhist monk, he'd still be politically friend-zoned -- at best.

117 "Attention Morons, His Highness Lord Obama will be giving you some charity soon. He's giving a speech on economics at 4. High Speed Rail - DRINK! Infrastructure - DRINK! Roads and Bridges - DRINK! The Middle Class - DRINK!"

And don't forget:

"Investment" -- hook up the Val-U-Rite intravenous drip. You're going to hear that one more than once.

You would figure that after a trillion dollars in borrowed money having been "invested" by Ogabe in his first term with no noticeable results, that particular trope would have been beaten to death. Nope! He's doubling down!

The latest generous offer from Ogabe is that if the GOP agree to tax simplification, he will graciously agree. As long as the "simplification" sucks even more taxes out of the rapidly shrinking productive class in America. And as long as the additional tax money is Ogabe's to "invest" as he sees fit.

Wow! What a great deal _that_ is!

Expect Boehner to drink four bottles of merlot in a row and then agree.

This is what blows my mind when I hear the chattering classes talking about how the Fed must create a tidal wave of virtual money to head off "the evils of deflation".

Oh dear! Things _might cost less_. At a time when average consumers' incomes have been kicked to the curb. We surely can't allow THAT nightmare scenario.

It's far better to have those average consumers' shrunken incomes instead be devoted to buying less stuff at artificially higher prices. So decree the chattering classes.

Not saying its a bad thing but it looks like many here have turned to single issue voters.

 

My single issue is not Rubio's immigration psychosis.  It's that he was vocally ANTI-illegal immigration during   his campaign,   and promptly turned around and didn't just vote FOR illegal immigration, he actively and loudly campaigned WITH DEMOCRATS for it.

 

He's dead to me.  

130 Jehmu Green is a classic lying liberal.  HATE.

131 Hey MWR you were asking about Carolyn and Japan.  Robert just posted this that has bearing I think.

The Japanese Naval Self Defense Force has launched a new warship - Izumo.  It's officially an helicopter carrier with a 250 meter flight deck.  You read that right, Japan is deploying its first carrier since WWII.

132 SHAMNESTY!

133 The media has spent some time elevating Rubio because of his willingness to shill for amnesty.


And just as quickly they'll tear him down and call him a hater/killer because opposing Obamacare is racist.

134 Bad blog. *smack* Bad.

135

>>>> We're still not voting for him again.

 

Sure you will. Here's the GOP saying "Where else you gonna go?" then putting him up for 2020 and you going "Marco? POLO!" and laffing it up with a GandT. He'll be intro'd by Rep. Meghan McCain.

And yet since the crash of the USAF helicopter on Okinawa yesterday that killed a crewman, the Okinawans are going ape shit demanding no more US helicopters be flown.  o_O

142 And let me add that I don't give a rat's fuck what Rubio says any more.  He lied and continues to lie about amnesty.  He treats us like stupid racists and for that he can go fuck himself.  I'm tired of being looked down upon by our "betters" in government.

143

This is FUCKING INSANE.

At the same time Obama wants more "private capital in play" he wants to strengthen the FHA?!

What a fucking moron.

(Of course part 1 is a lie anyway.  He wants to privatize profits and subsidize risk, like always.)

Not that I agree but he contends that he is still adamantly against illegal immigration  and his plan does not reward  illegals already here.   Its bullshit to us but I think  he truly believes that.  

146

I was thinking more that the crash of SABRE was to allow them to add passengers to the manifests to get around the watch list. Or, to allow luggage to make flights that have things that they need without having the luggage get additional scrutiny. But, then again I read way too many thrillers.

Accidentally burn it down and collect the insurance money.  

148 "The Japanese Naval Self Defense Force has launched a new warship - Izumo. It's officially an helicopter carrier with a 250 meter flight deck. You read that right, Japan is deploying its first carrier since WWII."

Officially a helicopter carrier, but the intent is fairly clear that they intend to try the F-35B vertical landing jet aboard it.

Unfortunately, the entire F-35 program, in all variants, is turning out to be a giant inept fustercluck, and betting a naval air strategy around it is not going to end well.

If there is a naval punching match in the South China Sea in the next decade, China is going to win it so overwhelmingly it won't be funny. Not least due to sheer numbers. Quantity has a quality all its own, as Stalin said, while pitching another fifty divisions into the line.

149 150 How can Ocare work?



A lot of GA LIVs are about to find out how it doesn't.  And those of us who knew what a clusterfuck it was will be suffering along with them.

157 Rubio punts on something he can do something about such as Amnesty, yet says he's going to draw the line on something he can't stop and is pretty much nothing more than a symbolic "Not Me!"

If Obamacare was on the edge, he'd be yanked over to Yes on Obamacare by "reasonable" Republicans who we all know and don't have to name

Correction:  If you insert the word "vomit" or "diarrhea", you can do it.

160 The housing market here is going to crash in a big way.

1) You can't get a fixed rate for more than 5 years.  30-year amort, but rate is locked for only 5.

2) A 2 bedroom bungalow is going for 600K+ in some areas. Crackerbox (raciss) condos are going for 400K+ not including maintenance feeds.  The "second bedroom" is often just a den with no walls, and no ability to install a door.  Or it's a glorified walk-in closet.

3) Banks are giving out loans for WAY more than people can afford, at rates that will eventually skyrocket after the 5 year fixed runs out and they need to re-up.

4) Flippers are a fucking disease here.  Most of them are real estate agents that collude with each other to outbid ordinary people to inflate the properties of the areas in which they live, then flip to someone with more money than brains.

Yeah, there are ethics rules, but when 50% of the eastern european immigrants run contracting businesses under the table, well, the eastern european immigrant real estate agents can claim they didn't have a stake in it, can't they?

Their experience in working within a corrupt system is serving them well.

Go by a Habitat For Humanity Re-Store in this area, and check out the brand. new. shit. ripped out of houses just because Mitzy thought the color of the newly installed granite was just one shade too dark.

But talk to any real estate agent, and you MUST remodel before you put it on the market.  Higher commission for them, higher overall area prices, inflation is king!

So what if fewer people can buy starters and the decent areas are reserved for the ultra wealthy who gut or tear down perfectly good homes, or the stupid who over mortgage. 

Let it burn, because it can do nothing but.

161 The Rubiocon? That's where he runs as a conservative.

162 Invicible class warships in the RN were officially called 'thru-deck' cruisers when laid down.  Completely omitted any reference to Sea Harriers or even helicopters. 

163 People are short on patience.  Rubio has lost many people who trusted him.  He'll be lucky to get himself re elected.

Hope everyone is gearing up to support mace against miss lindsey.

Perhaps there should be better vetting of republican candidates by the conservatives.  Perhaps we should encourage beck to establish his vetting boot camp.  To insure that they won't be rubitized and christieized when they get into office.

164 "Not that I agree but [Rubio] contends that he is still adamantly against illegal immigration and his plan does not reward illegals already here."

That nasty old piece of work Yasser Arafat used to give two speeches a day.

Speech #1 in the morning would be to the English-language media, in which Arafat would loudly proclaim the desire of the Palestinians for peace with Israel and their willingness to make all necessary and reasonable concessions to make that happen.

Speech #2 in the afternoon would be to the Arabic-language media, in which Arafat would say that they should disregard everything he had said that morning, and that the long range goal continued to be to push the Jews into the sea.

Rubio has been pulling the same shit.

Rubio will go on English-language television networks and say, "Of COURSE we're not talking about immediate amnesty and immediate benefits."

Then Rubio will go on Spanish-language TV and say, "Of COURSE you get immediate amnesty and immediate benefits."

A guy who lies to you repeatedly and brazenly, even if he's doing it bilingually, is still a brazen serial liar and you should have nothing to do with anything that he proposes.

Good analogy. If they do manage to get it off the ground, the inevitable crash will be that much more horrific and devastating.

173 >> oh still pondering the ramifications along with it being 'unveiled' on a date in the US to make people with a clue go 'whut?'

Um, NO. You're wrong.

The only thing that would stand in the way of US Naval Power controlling the Asian seas would be an inept/feckless/traitorous President.

Say like the one we have now.

This Reuters story has some hard numbers and types to crunch with the above calculator.

More than likely the reporter for Reuters refers to Strontium-90 which has a half life of 28 years and a vast majority present in the environment is residue left over from above ground nuclear bomb tests.

And when the EPA is not terribly concerned about Cesium-134, it worries about the radioactive Cesium-137 instead.

184 Can we stop playing the MSM game of framing every issue in terms of the 2016 Presidential race? I want Obamacare defunded and that has nothing to do with not trusting Rubio for President.
